*** This is technically a re-posting of this illustration. I plan to do so with all of my Potter art work building up (hopefully) to having some new stuff to share there after. So if you feel like you've seen this before - you probably have. On the upside, I'm sharing it at a larger resolution and without the DeviantArt watermark on it now **

In general, I liked these drawings. I hated doing the Hogwarts Express, because I hate drawing mechanical/structural things. The castle also provided a slight challenge, though it was a bit more forgiving. I was very happy with the sense of motion in Harry pushing his cart, preparing to go through the barrier to Platform 9 3/4. Overall, it felt like a nice balance.

Fun Fact: The scene of the Weasleys is loosely based on a drawing J.K.Rowling did of the lot. The positioning is about the same, though I added my own little flourishes and had some story to tell.

"Fun" Fact: One of my... rare... moments of inconsistency. The window in Harry's room is the wrong shape. At the time I did it to show Hedwig flying around outside, but based on the way I draw/paint it later... it should be taller. At the end of the day. it was a minor flub, so I let it go. But I fully admit my error.

Your style is amazing, and it fits so much the Potter world I just can fangirl over it for hours. (Oh god your Percy is- is- superb!)Β

Aww, thank you so much! I'm so glad you are enjoying my art I've gotten a bit behind on producing, but there is new stuff in the works.

Probably one of my favorite chapters in the book.

It's the transition chapter - everything before is mysterious and questioning - but from this chapter on, Harry jumps into the full wizarding world. I get enjoying this chapter

I had no idea what you were talking about in your notes until I realized that you were refering to another piece. Lovely vignettes! The Weasley family is so precious. I love Harry's movement while he's running and gorgeous work on the train and the castle.

Thanks for pointing out my mistake with the description. Somehow I copied what was for the painted scene on the Hogwarts Express. For what it's worth, it's been changed.Β

Thanks for the edit! I'm a sucker for authors' notes and I just love whenever we get a peak inside of their minds.Β

You have nothing to thank me for - I'm thankful you noticed the error and said something. I'm still not entirely sure how the description for a whole different piece was applied to this one.Β

The composition of Harry's room, the boats gliding through the water towards the castle. You create some really beautiful scenesΒ here.
